Health Ministry not to vaccinate school children for polio

The Health Ministry decided not to vaccinate school children between the first and third grads against polio due to the coming holidays and vacations.

The ministry decided that the vaccination project will continue for the time being only in Tipat Halav infirmaries. On Friday 20,000 children were vaccinated across Israel, raising the count to 330,000 vaccinated children since the project began. (Yaron Kelner, Itay Gal)
